My first trip was in Jan. 1998 right at the end of the 25th anniversary. I was 25! We've went just about every year since then (I guess to make up for lost time). We've actually seen quite a few changes in the 9 years we've been going. AK opened, ASM, PC, AKL, VWL, BCV, SSR have all been built, new rides opened in all 4 parks (and some closed too), new restaurants opened and some closed (we were sad when Bonfamille's in POFQ closed), Magical Express started, even the buses have changed somewhat. Heck our 1st trip in 1999 we rode a few times on "buses" that were actually built on flatbed trailers (I can imagine the amount of fuel they used kept WDW from keeping them). Those "buses" held quite a few more people than the normal ones they currently use. And most of the buses back then had seats like a regular bus, not just up the sides like most do now.
It always amazes me how much changes yet how much remains the same. We only are able to travel to WDW once a year (we actually went twice in 2005 because we didn't get to go at all in 2004). We definitely like to try new things every trip but do the favorites too because you just never know when something's going to be gone the next time you go!
